No matter which route you take, writing a book is a money-losing proposition for all but a lucky few. But you leave out what’s probably the best solution these days: become your own publisher. If you work with a savvy, experienced designer (like myself: shameless plug) you can produce something that is physically indistinguishable from what the big houses produce (if you’re willing to make the commitment and have a designer you can trust to do it right). You need to pay upfront for the design and printing, but you get to keep all the income from what you sell, and can leverage your book freely across all media, including Kindle and print-on-demand, without surrendering rights. And since even with a big house you generally need to arrange your own editing and promotion, all you’re really giving up is the publisher’s distribution arm, which can make it hard to get into the bookstores. But you can sell on Amazon, on your website, and out of the trunk of your car. Anyway, a pretty good book on the subject is “The Complete Guide to Successful Publishing,” by Avery Cardozo.
